Davey Wavey a known gay YouTube personality, did a survey among a couple of “real” lesbians and wanted to see what their reaction was to watching lesbian porn whose targeted audience are males.

Come to think, I don’t know any real lesbian who is actually into lesbian porn. The ones I know always prefer heterosexual pornography.

It seems photo memes that require people to make their own original content (well, not exactly original) like planking. which thankfully is dead, is becoming bigger and bigger. Take “cat bearding” or “cat beard”, for example, which consists of people taking their feline friends and having them cover the lower portion of their face, creating an “illusion” that looks like a beard.

Cat bearding isn’t new at all, as it has been popping up on Tumblr for a short while. It was just recently that it was picked up by the public and has become a hot trend on the Internet. Hundreds and hundreds of people have joined in with the numbers growing.

“Please kill me”

Doesn’t look like the cats are all too comfortable, are they? I couldn’t get my cat to pose with me like that without clawing my arms (not that I would stoop to doing something like this in the first place). At least it doesn’t involve people having their cats wearing pantyhose, or something creepy along that nature.

Inevitable alternate version.

But the meme hasn’t stopped there. Apparently, those people without cats have instead opted to creating an alternate version of cat bearding: Dog Bearding. The concept is exactly the same, only with dogs. It’s only a matter of time before they start using other animals.

Cat beards even have their own unofficial official website/Tumblr blog at Cat-Beard.com, chock full of cats being forced by their owners to make cat beards and really bad puns.

So Yahoo made the “proud” investment of buying Tumblr for 1.1 billion dollars today. For comparison, YouTube was bought for 1.65 billion by Google almost 7 years ago. As for how Tumblr itself is taking it…

Parts of Tumblr are in a bit of a panic over this news as some believe that this will lead to the death of Tumblr as Yahoo will attempt to fade out the social justice blogs, the trolling, and the porn. So effectively, everything relevant in Tumblr. Other sane users see this as a good thing since Yahoo will use its resources to improve the Tumblr interface and strengthen the staff. Some believe nothing will happen, because it’s Yahoo. When was the last time they did anything that Google didn’t do 10 times better?

Too true.

However, most likely Yahoo will try to make Tumblr “more user friendly” despite the fact Tumblr is pretty much the most user friendly place around. This of course means Yahoo will try to fix what isn’t broken and royally screw it up. If you don’t believe it, check their ugly front page.

At the same time, Yahoo will try to make Tumblr more ad friendly by opening up ad-space, and in order to not scare advertisers, being the fickle things they are, means Yahoo will probably go around to delete the more controversial blogs, which consist of the thousands of bizarre and grotesque fetish blogs (save yourself the trouble and try not to think about it, you’ll thank us later).

Some of you might be saying I’m making this all up with no basis or proof. True, but when Google did buy YouTube they left it alone for about a year and then started implementing changes. Among them was actually enforcing the copyright of videos, changing the old “5-Star” system to the “Like-Dislike” system, adding an advertising system and the “Partnership” program (paying bloggers to continue uploading videos), and better censors so that porn and extremely violent videos don’t make it into the system.

The enforcing of the copyright caused a mass exodus and lead to popular reviewers leaving, like the Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd, to create their own websites and Blip. But the “Partnership” program made many reluctant to leave unless they were outright being kicked out by YouTube  Of course, we arrive at now where YouTube has all but abandoned their copyright enforcement beyond full movie uploads, leading to the rise of Let’s Plays we see now. Even the Nostalgia Critic has been reuploading his videos on there in some capacity.

How do you make Tumblr even worse? Yahoo might have the answer to that!

Something similar may happen to Tumblr, in which Yahoo will attempt to remold Tumblr into an ad den since they have to make their 1 billion back somehow. Whether or not it will come true remains to be seen. But still, you might think it seems really foolish if Yahoo did go around deleting “controversial” blogs, since all blogs on Tumblr are “controversial” to someone, and would almost defiantly lead to some kind of exodus or outcry. Especially when Yahoo accidentally deletes a popular feminist transgender blog. With then said blog causing a massive uproar about the 1st Amendment and misogyny (and of course, “die cis scum!”). But one must remember, company executives don’t make smart decisions.

Just imagine it all (or watch the video): spam mail, the Nigerian money scam, Viagra ads, malware promising to make your computer go faster that just won’t close no matter how many times you try to close it and, of course, your sexy ads (I’m guessing either free porn or a “sexy singles that want your penis now” ad) that are much like a virtual succubus. It’s sure good to know such aren’t manifested into our non-digital lives…. r-right?

Overall, the video did a pretty good job summing how stressful these many problems are for your average computer user, or at least anyone over the age of 65.

Gingrich went to YouTube and wondered what exactly are these devices that we have accustomed to that not only makes phone calls, but also handles emails, can surf the web, and even entertain us with videos and casual video games.

Gingrich points out, “To call this a “cell phone” or a “handheld computer” fails to capture the change that has taken place.” He adds, “If it’s taking pictures, it’s not a cellphone. If you can get Wikipedia or go to Google, that’s not a cellphone.”

I’m personally in favor of the “horseless telelphone”name.

As weird as the video is, Gingrich welcomed ideas from viewers on what we should call “cellphones.”To no surprise, the video did get its share of criticism, having a majority of dislikes and comments mocking both the video and Gingrich.

People praised the man and continue to do so. He certainly deserves it. But damn it, why did the Internet have to go make an Auto-tune remix of not just him, but of every single news interview that gets attention?

Auto-tune the News, while not exactly a new concept, became huge after musical group of YouTube fame, the Gregory Brothers, decided to make an Auto-tune remix of the famous interview involving Antoine Dodson, which further made the latter an Internet celebrity that began milking himself after his 15 minutes of fame died out. Oh, speaking of which, Dodson, a well-known homosexual, recently came out saying that he’s “no longer into homosexuality” and that he wants a wife and kids.

Back on topic, the Internet moves at a rapid pace; when a cat does something cute it becomes viral, when new Pokémon are revealed suddenly there’s hundreds of rule 34 of them, and when something out of the ordinary happens in the news, some jackass is going to make an Auto-tune’d remix of it.

Usually after that happens, the particular subject of said news video tend to become a “meme”, much like how Ramsey has become a “meme” (using the word meme very loosely). And as we all know, when Internet memes become popular enough, companies are going to start milking them for however much they can make off of them.

The Gregory Brothers.

Ramsey does deserve the attention he’s getting, even if he probably doesn’t want it, but the above video seems more like a mockery of him than a mere tribute. Dodson’s Auto-tune video worked fine because of how crazy he was, in fact, his interview alone made millions laugh. The same formula doesn’t work all that well with Ramsey. Does he even have his own catchphrase? I haven’t bothered watching so I wouldn’t know.

Internet memes have arguably become much worse once normal people outside of 4chan started to get into them. It seems the memes that weren’t ripped out of 4chan are almost always forced. Forced memes are indeed one of the big factors that contributed to the cancer that is killing /b/ (what the hell am I talking about? /b/ was always shit).

By the way things go on the Internet, Auto-tuning the news should have already become something old, but their appeal hasn’t exactly died out yet. They’re starting to become inevitable, as many others have joined in on the “fun”, showing that the Gregory Brothers aren’t the only ones who could mix up a news interview into a song you could dance to at a club (lolno). But look at the bright side, nothing lasts forever, and so a future without “Auto-tune the News” is a still possibility.

It was 20 years ago today when the world first witnessed the World Wide Web as it went public. Since then, the Internet has changed dramatically throughout the years.

In honor of of its 20th anniversary, a team from CERN decided to restore the first website back to its original URL, which is available for all to see . It definitely gives one an idea of just how far the Internet has come from the days before we got services like Google, YouTube, the large number of social networking sites and so on.

The CERN team doesn’t seem to want to just stop there, as they hope to revive many other websites during the Internet’s early days.

You know, I can understand the White House having their own Twitter or Facebook accounts, because social media can and has already become a huge impact on our society. But I can’t for the life of me see any reason why they need a freaking Tumblr account, because that’s exactly what they’re doing.

In what the White House tweeted as “BREAKING NEWS” (because them getting a Tumblr account is apparently that important), they announced earlier today that they have created their own Tumblr account.

It’s not very surprising considering President Barack Obama has been regarded as the “hip” president that appeals to the youth like a rockstar. Obama is also known for his presence in social media, including his use of YouTube and even starting an AMA on Reddit.

Breaking: The White House is now on @Tumblr (and there will be GIFs). http://t.co/CX40lRs1jv, http://t.co/AX1rYqaaAx

The White House

The biggest question happens to be “why?” Why does the White House need a Tumblr, isn’t a blog, Twitter/Facebook already enough? It’s obvious that they want to gather to as many people as possible to care about the US government. And despite my clear bias and disapproval against Tumblr, it does have a big appeal among the youth and continues to grow like any other popular social networking service.

But the real reason for making a Tumblr, according to the White’s House’s Tumblr page, was because, “We see some great things here at the White House every day, and sharing that stuff with you is one of the best parts of our jobs.”In addition to the GIFs they’ve promised, you can expect their Tumblr to be filled with ”quotes from President Obama, or video of young scientists visiting the White House for the science fair, or photos of adorable moments with Bo.”

So, what’s next, President Obama? An Instagram account so you show us your collection of cross-processed photos of you campaigning and signing bills?

It seems that Anonymous is once again targetting pedophiles in their latest vigilante operation: Operation Alice Day (#OpAliceDay).

The group today took down the homepage of NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) by DDoS’ing it, although the website is reportedly back online. While NAMBLA was the first to be hit, Anonymous hasn’t stopped there.

The group is on a warpath, taking down any pedophile-friendly webpage they can find. They have stated that they will continue their onslaught by taking down and vandalizing more pedophilia activist websites as well as posting  dox (like always).

The list of pedo websites are available and you guys can still provide them laz0rs. We will start tweeting out D0xes on Pedos RT them

If you’re unaware, today is Alice Day, a sugarcoated nickname for Pedophilia Pride Day (I’m sure there’s a Zoophilia and any other sick fetish Pride days too), named after Alice Liddell, who apparently attracted Lewis Carroll when she was a young girl, many of which rumor the man to have been a pedophile.  Alice in Wonderland, which was written by Carroll, was inspired by Liddell. Coincidentally, Alice Day is held in the same month as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Pedo pride day is what's wrong with this world. #Anonymous

Anonymous

Like always, Anonymous also took their protest to YouTube, bringing awareness as well as making threats. In the video, Anonymous stated:

On this holiday the pedophiles celebrate, rape and molestation of little girls. Many pedophiles believe it is okay for them to celebrate “loving” a female child that day.

We call upon all Anonymous Operatives to come forward and march with us as legion. To deface and cause chaos within the pedophile networks.

To the public; On April 25th we will be conducting various operations involving online methods such as Distributed Denial of Service attacks, doxing, and website defacement. We ask that you please watch your children and be extra vigilant, because April 25th is like Christmas to them.

The group is determined to take out as many child pornography and pro-pedophile as possible. So far, as The Daily Dot reports, they seem have been doing a good job of it. And while Anonymous is often criticized for their actions, some being extremly questionable and asinine, #OpAliceDay is definitely one operation that many sane individuals can agree with and support.

If you haven’t already forgotten Jimmy McMillian, the American political activist with the crazy facial hair known for his New York political party and slogan, the Rent Is Too Damn High, which has become an obscure meme, you might want a refresh. McMillian, who is currently running for mayor of New York City, now has his own political anthem for his infamous slogan.

The political anthem was released  today and was produced by Animal New York. McMillian is taking a rather different approach for his campaign compared to other candidates.

His current run for mayor of the NYC marks the 66-year old politician’s fourth campaign for mayor, not to mention that he did try to run for president back in 2012.

While many inhabitants of New York City would love to see Micheal Bloomberg out,  it’s very doubtful that McMillian will be successful and will see an end akin to his former campaigns.
